The proposed ambiguity is on purpose and we encourage submitting proposals theorizing design with unusual and unexpected perspectives.
Design is more and more framed as a platform of integration in various scientific communities therefore it will be interesting what it can bring to the foreground framing it with artistic, technological and scientific production and accompanying it with a research perspective.
